PETER LAWSON'S WILL.
Relatives Claim the Property That Nora's
Founder Bequeathed to His Betrothed.

A very interesting case, involving the legality
of the will of the late Peter Lawson, the founder
of the village of Nora, this county, is on trial
before jury in the Circuit Court. Mr.. Lawson
was native of Sweden, and emigrated to this
country when quite young man. He entered
large tract of land in the northern part of the
county, and with the development of the coun-
try, grew quite rich. When the population of
the county began to increase rapidly, he laid
out town on his land and named it Nora He
married. but several years before his death his
wife died, leaving ne children A couple of years
after her death he began counting Sarah Hamil
ton, widow, and at the time of his death they
were engaged 10 be married. After he became
convinced that he could not recover he had a
will drawn up in which he left all his estate to
Mrs. Hamilton his prospective wife. After the
estate had passed into her hands, relatives of
the deceased in Sweden came here and laid
claim to the property. They revealed the fact
that Lawson's real name was Larsen and that
for reason he had changed it when he set
tied in America. Suit was brought to contest
the will in the name of Gustaf Israelson. 1t twas
filed several years ago, and since that time a
age in Sweden has been made and the attorneys
for the plaintiff, Messrs Ritter & Ritter, claim
that there is no doubt about the genuineness of
the claim of their clients There are great
many dispositions from foreign witnesses, be-
sides great deal of testimony from persons
here to be submitted and the case will consume
several days. Mrs. Hamilton, the present pos
of the estate, is represented by Duncan,
Smith s. Wilson.

A New Patrolman Fails to Get His Evidence
Against Saloon-Keepers in Proper Form.

1t seems probable that majority of the sa-

all made by Patroiman Weirick. member
of the force, and being misinformed as to the
nature of the evidence required to convict. he
neglected to sufficiently inform himself in most
cases. The law requires that the affidavit must

is made. if it can be learned This Mr.. Weirick
failed to do. The against Ben Kerstins

Superintendent Jones Recommends Changes

A bare quorum of Commissioners were pres
int at the School Board meeting last night.
Commissioner Greenstreet reported that the
committee on enumeration had examined the
bids for the work, and recommended that the
contract be awarded to W. II. Lester, whose bid
was tensixteenths of cent Der capita. The
board concurred in the recommendation. Com
missioner Vonneeut read a protest from Free
thinker, against the opening Of the schools with
anything like Christian ceremony. He said
his child was compelled to say prayers by the
teacher of his room, and against this, also, he
protested. Mr.. Vonnegut moved that there
should be an investigation of the matter. On
referred to the Judiciary committee.
Superintendent Jones reported that the me-
sessty for increased accommodation was becom.
Ing so forcible that immediate action was de-
manded. He advised immediate changes in the
northeastern and southwestern portions of the
city by enlarcng No. 20 or by erecting a small
building on Virginia avenue for the former and
by building an addition to No. IL, and by col
lecting the pupils of Nos and into one school,
to be situated near the corner of West and Ma
ryland streets. He also recommended the build
Ing of new school-house on the corner of Della
ware and Seventh streets. Also, the enlargement
of No. H. The changes were sorely needed on
the South Side, he said, from the fact that the
schools were overcrowded, and numbers of
pupils were compelled to go to schools a great
way off. This report was referred to the COM
mlttee Oh buildings and grounds.
